One of the most riveting news reports over the weekend was the rescue of a German Shepherd mix from the rain swollen Los Angeles River. There was also canine drama north of LA in Ventura CA where we were introduced to a another potential top ten dog. We gave you a glimpse of the Ventura shows over the weekend. To recap, Bill Shelton’s latest Pembroke Welsh Corgi prodigy, CH Segni at Coventry, took two of three BIS, Friday’s Simi Valley Kennel Club & Sunday’s Ventura County Dog Fanciers Association. The third prize, Saturday’s San Fernando Kennel Club went to the Rhodesian Ridgeback, CH Pupukearidge Ikaika O Sprngvly.
